Use of biomass combustion as primary energy source emit substantial amounts carbonaceous aerosols (CA) in the Himalayan environment. Any understanding regarding impact CA on human health and climate requires a reliable estimation compositional variability associated carbon forms: Elemental (EC), Organic (OC), Light absorbing organic (LAOC). This investigation spanning over 14 months was undertaken rural part Western Himalayas to estimate temporal ambient aerosol load (PM10, PM2.5), forms....

Rapid urbanization worldwide poses sustainability issues. To address these issues, Sustainable Urban Streets (SUS) are being developed to balance social, economic, and environmental factors in street design. The main aim of this paper is investigate the suitable SUS characteristics for metropolitan environments develop a framework This study creates based on four aspects: sustainability, social economic design sustainability. A rigorous search strategy, focusing urban parameters within...

The present study deals with the determination of uplift capacity for an under-reamed pile in clay, whose cohesion increases linearly depth, by following finite element analysis methodology. was performed for: i) without under-ream, ii) single and iii) double pile. geometry selected relevant Indian standard code, different values increasing various shaft adhesion. safe collapse load determined from load-deformation curve indicated that its magnitude highest followed For range embedment depth...

In the present study, uplift capacity of under-reamed piles (also referred to as belled piles) in sand was determined by following a finite element analysis. this regard, soil assumed obey Mohr-Coulomb's failure criteria, together with non-associated flow rule. The pile geometry, soil, and properties were selected relevant literature. friction angle (ϕ) varied from 25°-45°, whereas embedment ratio (L/D) kept between 7.0-17.5. computed expressed non-dimensional manner. After comparison...

Investigation over 14 months was undertaken at a representative rural location in the state of Himachal Pradesh to understand putative correlation between reported high Respiratory Disease Incidences (RDI) with air/particulate pollution exposure time series based investigations. Time data on RDI cases from public health centers Jawali, sampling location, obtained along corresponding ambient particulate matter (PM) concentrations two size fractions (PM10 and PM2.5). The PM associated carbon...

Slope stability monitoring and evaluating play vital role in the risk management of open cast mines. Generally, Issue slope failure occurs at mines due to undisciplined mining, impacts weather conditions. radar provide warning impending also it has used for setting out threshold value. This value obtained from parameter value, some previous scan data applied statistical analysis. After that carried accurate result area remotely scanning region slopes continuously measure any surface movements.

The study aims to analyse the long-term impacts of mining activities in Jharia coalfield (JCF) on land-use (LU) patterns using transfer learning deep convolutional neural network (Deep CNN) model. A new database was prepared by extracting 10,000 image samples 6 × size for five LU types (barren land, built-up area, coal region, vegetation and waterbody) from Landsat data train validate satellite 1987 2021 at an interval two years used change analysis. results revealed that model offers 95 88%...

Varanasi's prominence as a cultural and historical center means it receives visitors from all over the world. The city's tourism industry is boon to local economy. Better transportation infrastructure crucial attracting more tourists increasing revenue. Varanasi currently experiencing terrible difficulties due various roadside frictional activities. Vehicle ownership grows in tandem with population growth. increase number of vehicles on road significantly impacts reliability network since...

Abstract India has sixth largest coal reserves in the world and estimated to be at 206 billion tons it ranks 10th CBM resources having 4.6 TCM methane gas covers 20,000 km2 of area. The reservoirs is multilayered, heterogamous, naturally fractured (cleats) fine micro pores. Bulk porosity very small (<5%), initial saturation low (<10%) most (>90%) adsorbed pores matrix under saturated condition. Rapid dewatering needed for reduction reservoir pressures below critical...

Slope stability mining radar in mine slope monitoring at open cast mines. It is development on the technology, now being widely used several countries to provide real time and advance warning signals before any or dump failure Indian mines 80% remaining underground So a vital component surface an essential for planning deeper steeper deposits, terms of economics safety. Various methods systems have evolved over last few years. The usage each system governed by factors such as technology...
